Meet The Team
At the heart of the Felton Fundraising family
Richard & Sarah
"When Sarah and I founded Felton Fundraising in 1995 we never imagined that we would be doing it over 30 years later. We had no idea it would still be raising vital funds and supporting countless charities to thrive and change lives.
Our commitment to the sector remains strong, with much of our time now dedicated to one-on-one and small-group training and mentoring both inhouse and outside of our organisation —something we enjoy, as it allows us to share our experience and passion for learning and development.
Outside of work, we both enjoy walking our dogs and staying active. Richard indulges his passion for motorsport as a recovery operator and Sarah enjoys gardening, pottering about in the greenhouse, and getting involved in village life. She plays a key role in designing the village’s 60-page monthly magazine and helps organise the local gardening group and annual show.”

"I have been working at Felton Fundraising & Appeals since March 2005, not having worked in the charity sector before, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power that bid writing has on the charities that we work with. I have built a deep knowledge over the course of my career, specialising in projects supporting young carers, children and youth, disability, addiction, and community work-based projects. I have worked through some challenging times over the years, including recessions, pandemic and more recently a cost-of-living crisis. We are constantly put under pressure to raise the necessary funds for our clients, but when we do raise the funds needed and when we can see the impact that our work has on the charities we work with, it is all worth it.
As Business Manager, I am responsible for monitoring client expectations and leading our fantastic team, all of whom are experts in their relevant fields."

"My fundraising career began in the arts, with two of the country’s most prestigious music festivals, where I quickly learnt that my skills and interest lay in securing income from, and nurturing relationships with, trusts and foundations.
I joined Felton Fundraising in March 2019 as I thrive on making a difference and working with organisations that have a positive social impact across diverse communities. I have never looked back!
My focus is on large grants and multi-year bids. Not one to shy away from a complex application, I guide our clients through the process from start to finish, supporting them to maintain financial sustainability for their organisation. Felton Fundraising has a superb team – each of us has our particular strength we bring to the table, and teamwork is at the heart of every success. I could not ask for a better environment in which to thrive!
I regularly remind our clients that they ‘cannot give from an empty cup’ and I am a huge advocate of sailing for mental health. It’s my switch off and my reset, all in one! And if I’m not sailing, you’ll find me with my head in a book or singing my socks off with my music at full volume!"

"I am excited to join the lovely team at Felton Fundraising and as I am totally new to the world of fundraising, I am looking forward to learning something new and can’t wait to start supporting charities that are really making a difference to our local communities.
Living in a rural market town means I enjoy the benefits of everything on my doorstep but surrounded by the peace and quiet of the countryside. This makes supporting people who don’t have access to the things I take for granted very important to me, and I am so glad to have the opportunity to actively do something positive and worthwhile.
Both my husband and I are working from home as we support our grown up family and elderly parents, meaning we are busier than ever embracing the joys of family life from both ends of the scale while carving out quality time for us. Our home is never without the hustle and bustle of friends and family visiting and our two dogs who add an extra layer of warmth (mud and fluff) to our everyday moments. Whether it's tending to the garden, enjoying time with friends, or spending time with loved ones, my life is centred around family, and finding joy in the little things that make life truly special."

"Having worked at Felton Fundraising in 2022, I am back having spent some time living in France. As a former Norfolk Charity CEO I have over 15 years’ experience working within the charity sector. Prior to this I had various roles working within a policing environment in London. Now living back in Norfolk I spend my time gardening, cold water swimming, walking and enjoying the coastal sunsets."

"Since joining Felton Fundraising in April 2026 as a Fundraising Assistant, I’ve loved being part of a team that is committed to helping charities thrive. I’m passionate about making a difference and supporting causes that have a real impact on people’s lives.
At home, life revolves around my young daughter and our animals! We’re both horse mad, love being outdoors, and spend lots of time with our dog Moss, as well as breeding guinea pigs and rabbits."
